Abstract
About the Book:
Principles of Terrestrial Ecosystem Ecology is concerned with detailing the natural and fragile ecosystems that make up our planet, describing the life-cycles and natural flow of many living things, including water, plants, nutrients, and animals. In order to understand the role that our species has had on modifying the Earth until it has become what we know today, the author examines modern ecology and integrates all areas of this field to provide a comprehensive picture of how everything in the ecosystem is intricately connected.
About the Author:
